mechanism of FoxP3-mediated gene expression. Alexander Rudensky’s group from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center showed how FoxP3 cooperated with other regulators to ensure the stability and function of Tregs in basal and inflammatory environments. A high proportion of identified partners of FoxP3 were direct targets of FoxP3, indicating a close-circuit connectivity of reciprocal regulation of expression and cooperation between FoxP3 and several sequence-specific transcription factors. Bin Li’s group from Institut Pasteur of Shanghai found two negative regulators of FoxP3 + Tregs, Stub1 and DBC-1. Stub1 negatively modulates Tregs suppressive activity by promoting proteasome-mediated degradation of FoxP3, while DBC-1 is an essential subunit of the FoxP3 complex and is responsible for attenuating FoxP3 activity by a caspase-dependent mechanism during inflammation. Furthermore, a novel Foxo1-dependent transcription program was reported to control Tregs cell function by Ming O. Li at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. As reported in this meeting, other factors that impinged on the Tregs development and functions included the innate immune components C3aR/C5aR, NF-kB and Nrp1-Sema4a.
